Repair door lock spring
Common problem with T4 with central locking is the breaking of the spring in the lock , the lock button when unlocked door in the top holds the position. Without intact spring, the locking knob for light vibrations (eg the actuation of the door handle back down ') fall', which leads to a locking of all doors over the central leads.
Operation
If this happens, you can manage to repair it, that one of the locking button to open the door clings, or that one to open the door first with the central locking and then unlocking the boot and the knob opens the door locked.
Unfortunately, this spring is not available as spare parts. So if you want an original spring must complete the castle get at VW. You can use the pen but by a self bebastelte spring (eg from a ballpoint pen or the pen of a key ring) to replace it.
Installation
The following pictures of Thomas Vöth show detailed pictures of the location, he has made in the repair of the spring and for the T4 Wiki provided:
Spring
The spring is factory from 1 mm thick spring steel. It has about 1.5 turns, which are the ends of V-shape. The bent parts, which are used to fix the castle, have a length of about 5 mm.
Dimensions of the spring
Because for the spring at the mounting sufficient space available to, the mass can be varied in a replica rather generously. It is primarily to ensure that the spring is not thick, so that it between the moving parts of the castle still has game. The following picture shows one of a pen of a key ring made of spring with a diameter of about 13 mm.
Replica pen
A tip from the T4-Forum by Eric2000 is, spring rolls from a stainless steel needle of flare make the man. It has exactly the right cross section, and the spring, turn with a diameter of about 1 cm and with a twist.
Another tip (Eggi204) is wound end 'of a sufficiently large safety pin to take the'. The diameter will then adjust the same, and the ends can bend easily. Or tinkering - as Arthur Dent - the spring from the spring wire, the one the "hand holders" of paper files found in:
Spring wire, sheet holder
This simple wire wound around a pencil or a correspondingly large screw, bent the ends and finished.
